The seats look really nice and I bet very comfortable. a bit modern looking, but if you don't mind that or are building something intended to be a modern interpretation of the older truck, it is perfect. I like the integrated seatbelts and the especially the price.

I had a lot of hours of fabrication in my custom bench seat which started out life in a Dodge Caravan rear. I had to make it taller, make it wider, build mounting brackets, extend its base suspension, build a metal skirt to be wrapped in matching leather, change the slider mechanism, etc. I think I had 15 to 20 hours of work in it myself. Then probably $1000+ in labor, foam ($200 alone), leather by the upholsterer.

 

Isn't the 60/40 split the wrong way around tho?

 

It problem came out of the back seat of a explorer ?

 

second row seat, I am not sure there is a right way or wrong way to split a seat?



Works nice though, have access to the gas tank without removing the seat. I actually wish the seat had a center arm rest that dropped down. That would be nice.

 

sewed up some door panels. Just going to velcro them in place so I do not have to drill holes in the doors.

 

Typically with a split bench the driver portion moves by itself so the driver can adjust his driving position, while the other can be moved full rearward for leg room and safety.

 

These are second row seats, they are not adjustable and are mounted all the way back

 

A big engine upgrade in terms of appearance. Picked up a GT40 tubular intake and reconditioned the paint to match the truck.




Added a 70 mm throttle body.


Looks great installed... need to clean up the rest of the engine bay, still full of dust and grime from the body shop.




And there she is.


Also finished up the interior with center console.



Cupholders are the interior lights.

 

awesome. looks good

 

Finally out in the sun, interior done

Truck is running great now.

Took it to a small car show this weekend and picked up an award.

 

You have one beautiful truck there Ryan.

 

Ryan hows the truck been treating you?

 

Truck has been doing great. Not a single broken weld yet!! 😅 Couple thousand miles on her and it has been lots of fun. Wife loves to drive her and we have won a handful of awards at shows. Hope everyone is doing well.

 

 

Hey Ryan,

Really nice.
